Why do reporters think you have to begin stories like this

She couldn’t even manage to say his name lololol

Good morning to everyone except Harmeet Dhillon (0-1)

Ty France and the Padres thwarted by good old reality: defector.com/ty-france-an...

I find the focus among many in the AI field on “curing death” to be fascinating. Freud theorized that the fear of death was displaced castration anxiety, which seems relevant.

Impossible to understand how anyone could look at Rufo's career and conclude he was someone engaged in a "forthright defense of meritocracy." Rufo's entire career is built on the idea of purging people who don't think or look like him from positions of power.

Could do without another "The Man in the High Castle" reboot if I'm being honest

"I want to stress this point because one of the most dispiriting aspects of these last two years has been the rapid and utter capitulation by so many who didn’t need to do it."

"Carlos" shares, "I've worked in ag for 15+ years in the Brawley, CA area. Right now I'm driving the tractor preparing the land for planting. The temperature is over 105°, so I have to drink a lot of water to avoid dehydration." #WeFeedYou

One of my absolute favorite places in the world!

TRUMP announces formation of “Super Intelligence Force”:

Expressing surprise that the racist propagandist Chris Rufo said something less than colorblind in the podcast he cohosts with a notorious fascist publisher

Every year we go to a local carnival where my 5yo’s favorite thing is the water race, the game where you shoot a water gun at a target to move a metal horse across a board. So yesterday, I duly put down my $5 and helped him win a little stuffed dino.

They should focus group how Ken Paxton's ex-wife's ad does with all of Ken Paxton's girlfriends.

Nauseating how everyone around Musk either denies he condemned 14 million people to death or thinks it's his greatest achievement.

I am in Canada where the regular news broadcasts feature basic coverage of the daily violence in Gaza. We don't really have that the same way in the states.

I have been stuck on the slushes and coffee

The fate of Europe residing completely on Lindsey's droopy shoulders is almost too gross to comprehend.

You don't have to celebrate Community Notes' one good note of the month. You don't have to hand it to Rogan without realizing he's spending the other seven hours of his show bashing people you love. You don't have to vouch for awful, or if you do, think about it extra hard.

"The ease with which so many of our betters have exposed themselves in the last few years must never leave our minds."

BREAKING: All these cowards could stand up to Trump at any time And we must make them.

Montreal has incredible food and cafes. One of the best things about their coffeehouses are the slushes they make by simply blending regular iced coffee. it's like a frapp with way more caffeine and less baggage. Myriade has the best one I've ever had with a touch of orange. #coffeewithhunter

Dangerously hot conditions with temperatures up to 90° on CAs coast and 105° in the valleys continue until 8 pm PDT Thursday. Farm workers are toiling in the fields in this dangerously hot weather working to put food on our tables 1/

Got interviewed by one of the largest Swedish newspapers and they led with the best headline/photo (translates to “it’s easier to see an angry man than the truth”) www.svd.se/a/pB7E0G/ed-...

The worst thing we managed to do is teach liberals about how to recognize certain symbols but not understand the rest of the context behind them. Or how to read the rest of a Wikipedia article. Hm, maybe the historical Massachusetts symbol has relevance at the Massachusetts show

“The first step to doing good in an effective manner is to be honest about our cognitive limitations—and to take seriously the ever-present danger that even the most well-meaning and thoroughly “researched” interventions may prove to be counterproductive.”

It took like a week for him to change his mind on the "enjoy the camps" thing. All it took was people saying it to the mod team instead of trans people.

why do these guys feel such an instinctual need to have hot takes on rape in public

they don’t know the red gape means this is a juvenile corvus corax

They don’t know that the red gape means this is a juvenile Corvus corax.

So fucking glad we don't have to listen to Charlie Kirk's opinion on the Cornell story

"Resurface"

oh my god i'm done. i'm outta here. have fun friends

I just watched roman holiday as a night-before-flying-to-rome movie and now I really need to visit the mouth of truth

it is amazing how mad people get at you about a literal copy and paste from the statcast

listened to ruba ghazal on corner booth and her arguments for sovereignty make no sense to me. she says quebec is open to immigrants, but canada isn’t so she feels more welcome in quebec (what?), and seems to feel a quebec constitution can only be drafted along with independence.

people keep sending this to me without noticing that the EV on this pitch was 105.5, which notably is not 105

that hit had a launch angle of 49 degrees and exit velocity of 105mph and in the statcast era that has never once resulted in a home run Exit Velocity: 105 MPH, Launch Angle: 49° BA: .037 1B%: 0.0 2B%: 3.7 3B%: 0.0 HR %: 0.0

whoever has this license plate is destined to become my nemesis

Cars ruin everything! Everything.

tropicana field has clear demarcations for what is a home run and what is not a home run! it's fine! it's not whatever this is

A significant part here is that it matters a lot *which* LLMs people are using. That the president is using the Nazi LLM made by Musk, which also generates CSAM, is materially different from other commercial models, but especially from models that we could audit and inspect. This could be regulated!

how old does it mean you are if you know what "cc" and "bcc" originally meant, asking for a friend who is collapsing into dust

us soccer has a future and his name is cavan sullivan

lots of liberty biberty hate on this website. fair enough. perhaps the golf now gopher is only on my tv and no one else can see him.

me, agreeing to some gig months in advance: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! me, when it turns out the passage of time is real and I have to get on a plane: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

the brewers learning how to homer in the playoffs is like in Jurassic Park where the velociraptor figures out how to open the door

I really, really don't think people understand how outraged the public was about this at the time

Olivia Rodrigo hosted a festival that raised $20m for abortion access nonprofits Macklemore sold out a Palestinian benefit tour after being forced off Ed Sheeran’s tour Zach Bryan released a new anti-AI song touring with a band that has multiple trans members Taylor Swift sang about Cleveland

Big news: A federal judge has dismissed the FACE Act case filed by the DOJ (Harmeet Dhillon, specifically) against pro-Palestine activists who organized against illegal land sale events. I covered the case in a larger piece for @prismreports.org: prismreports.org/2026/03/11/n...

probably about as good as i'm gonna get it

it’s truly jarring to switch between a rightwing-aggregated account and my main account on twitter for insight or commentary into the cornell 7 case. i literally cannot find any overlap in content being discussed. two absolutely separate worlds.

TNT's USMNT broadcasts have fucking sucked this week.

This is actually a really good idea! I’ve been trying to think of what movies I could watch while on the treadmill, and that would probably be a great one

pickles go alongside hotdogs and i'm tired of pretending this isn't a universal truth

When Frodo and I first set out on our walks, he does this cute little trot, like one of those fancy horses that do the high stepping. He loses it as he gets more tired but it's just one of many many things i adore about this dog.

it was canceled because it was catastrophic and yes there were exhaustive studies

damn he said the most famous lie and it was the truth

love Adam wainwright’s obvious joy calling this game

I have an idea for a prestige TV show: The Guy Who Didn’t Know In each episode we see a day in the life of a person who isn’t aware that something world-changing is happening around him.

As an originalist, let me give you 3/5 of my mind.

That crowd roar after that chourio homer in Milwaukee was guttural.

We are still in here yapping. 1,200 comments in lol 😍🫠☠️

my legs are genuinely heavy tonight

Back in Charlottesville, that’s a long drive from Providence, but at least no traffic to speak of. Now, Bruins game and sleep.

studio execs: “Tom Cruise is even weirder than normal! Digger!” NORMAL PEOPLE: “Well that’s disconcerting, I wonder if there’s a football game on.”

As someone who really doesn’t go to the movies that much anymore, I remember seeing the preview to this before our screening of The Odyssey and thinking “wow that looks terrible, were the Coen brothers not available to make the actual movie it seems this wants to be?”

foul balls are a huge concern for major league baseball. fans typically keep the ones they catch, and there's not exactly any good reason to buy a ticket to a baseball game if you have your own baseball at home you can look at anytime you want

look if the Red Sox are going to be out of the postseason there’s nothing quite like Yankees schadenfreude to sustain us

Austin Wells you bozo

Some people say Labubu is "over," a "fad," or "junk." It never stopped for me. It lives in my heart.

I’ve no IMDb but I do have two cool credits. I was an extra in a movie Jenny Lewis did with Robert Mitchum.

Only true Sky heads will know how hyped I am about tonight's claw machine win.

They’re all on the same flight and this is the only way for them to successfully remember their number to check in, as long as none of them change position

famed liar finally gets around to telling the third most-common lie

Pls delay the start of padres v brewers thanks

Drew Rasmussen is through 7 no-hit innings against the Yankees.

It's worth asking yourself why every day of the week the New York Times and pretty much every major legacy media outlet runs pieces espousing increasingly incoherent arguments for investing more in AI.

MINOR DILEMMAS: Am I pushing my kids enough to do the right extracurriculars? defector.com/am-i-pushing-my-kids-enough-to-do-the-right-extracurriculars

anti-gross discourse here. feel free talk about whatever you like as long as it's not whatever shit is slopping over the brim today

Chris Rufo calls the FBI, only to screech when Kash Patel picks up the phone

As called by Tom Leach on Kentucky radio:

NFS’s Division of Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences has supported my work for over a decade, allowing discoveries that include our work — now implemented by funding agencies around the world — about how to not efficiently allocate grant funding.

Given that Trump only speaks to be repeated…

hey, it's Kentucky making the right call

While I’m doing Saturday Night Takes™, a big problem with social media turning everyone into pundits is that a lot of people are just really bad at punditry.

If this were a group of immigrant men accused, Kelly would be calling for the electric chair.

Here’s a story from today and one from February.

Love to see Republicans embrace automatic enrollment. Boosts participation from 5% to 100%. Now let’s just do it with actual safety net programs. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/b...

"The only requirement to open a private school in Arkansas is displaying a flag and flagpole..." Sure, right of course.

The line for the Phoebe Bridgers concert in Detroit! All one line for some reason

ain’t no rule says a blue whale can’t play basketball

Farmworkers are walking door to door in Congressional District 22 to tell voters: Randy Villegas is a leader who will fight back against Trump and his friends. He cares about our community, unlike Valadao who does nothing. Support us by supporting Randy Villegas for Congress!

the crowd at the trop is hot.

10 of the 11 runs that have scored in today’s mlb playoff games have come via homer.

Okay - updated upcoming guests on the show: Steve Burke from Gamersnexus on NVIDIA and Circular Financing, Nick Nemeth and Sam Koppelman on Private Credit, Nick Devor on Coinbase's Trading Cards, @robinwigglesworth.ft.com on the bond markets, Paul Kedrosky and Ed Elson on the post-midterms economy.

In August 2004, a group of 200 women stabbed a notorious serial rapist to death in a courthouse in Nagour, India.
